Comment. The cropping to take out the frame has slightly clipped the edges off the picture - most notable at the top where a central green jewel (probably an emerald) and part of the third tier has been taken off what I assume is his Papal tiara (rather than a mitre; the image page contains no info on what we're actually looking at in the picture other than who it is, which maybe also somewhat lessens EV). --jjron (talk) 05:38, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

The image page contains all the relevant information from the source page, from what I can see. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:18, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe image page info needs to be sourced from elsewhere then, in order to flesh out the details. I doubt we'd be saying 'good EV' if a contemporary image contained such limited info. Given these hi-res paintings seem to be becoming more regular, perhaps we need to be more scrupulous on their EV rather than just supporting them as a good scan/repro. --jjron (talk) 12:53, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean background on the subject or on the painting? The EV is mainly for the subject (Pope Nicholas V). The individual painting itself has limited notability, and its provenance probably isn't recorded. Crisco 1492 (talk) 13:26, 11 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Yeah, the subject. In cases where the painting itself has an article say, then that would provide the EV and we wouldn't need so much on the image page. But with something like this the painter (or the subject or his minions) has chosen this particular regalia for some reason, it's possibly significant, but we have none of that info. Presumably all this has been scrupulously researched at some stage. Wouldn't we expect that info in a historical photo say, if it wasn't immediately apparent? But maybe I'm just being picky because I don't particularly care for the painting. --jjron (talk) 13:13, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
